WILLIAM F. GOODWIN AND JOSEPH C. LOW, OF SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA.

LIQUID-FUEL-BURNER TIP.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, WILLIAM F. Goon- WIN and JosnrH C. Low, citizens ofthe United States, residing at San Francisco, in the county of SanFrancisco and State of California, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Liquid-Fuel- Burner Tips, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to liquid fuel'burners, and more particularly totips therefor,

and has for its object to provide a burner tip which will be simple inarrangement and consequently cheap, while being eflicient to a highdegree.

Another object is to provide a structure occupying little space yetassuring a proper spread of the flame through the mutual engagement oftwo flame elements.

Another object is to provide a structure in which the nozzle members maybe quickly removed for renewal.

Other objects and advantages will be apparent from the followingdescription, and it will be understood that changes in the specificstructure shown and described may be made within the scope of the claimswithout departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings forming a portion of this specification, and in whichlike numerals of reference indicate similar parts in the several views,Figure l is an elevational view of the complete tip, Fig. 2 is alongitudinal section through the tip.

Referring now to the drawings, the present tip comprises a head 5 whichis bifurcated as shown at 6, and which has a charm her 7 formedtherewithin, the chamber extending into the furcations, as illustrated.At the opposite end of the head from the fur-cations, there is a stem 8,having an opening 9 formed therethrough communicating with the chamberwithin the head and interiorly threaded for the reception of a fuelsupply pipe.

By reason of the fact that the chamber 7 extends into two furoations, itis in effect a U-shaped chamber and at the separation of the legs of thechamber, there is a thickened wedge-shaped portion 10 of the head,directed toward the opening 9, and arranged to deflect the supply offuel into the two furcations indicated at A and B. These furcations haveopenings 11 in their mutually adjacent faces, the openings being inSpecification of Letters Patent.

registration with each other, and the furcations also have concentricopenings 12 through their outer faces, the openings 12 being somewhatsmaller than the openings 11. The openings 12 and 11 communicate withthe chambers within the fur-cations as illustrated.

The openings 11 are surrounded at their outer portions by tapered seats13 and engaged in these seats, there are a pair of similarly formednozzle members 14, these members including boss portions 15 extendininwardly beyond the mutually adjacent faces of the furcations A and Band including also stem portions 16 lying within the openings 11. Thestem portions 16 and boss ortions 15 are connected by tapered portions17, engaging against the seats 13.

The nozzle members are hollow, as shown, and their stem portions 16 areopen and are interiorly threaded to receive the inner ends of exteriorlythreaded nipples 18 which are engaged through the outer openings 12 ofthe fur-cations. These nipples 18 have an 1- lar heads 19 at their outerends by whlch they may be manipulated, and are provided withcircumscribing series of ports 20, which communicate with the chambersof the fur cations, for the admission of fuel into the nipples andthence into the nozzle members 14:. It will be seen that, when thenipples are screwed home, they draw the nozzle members inwardly and seatthem firmly within. the openings 11.

The edges of the boss portions 15 which are directed toward the freeends of the furcations A and B are slotted as indicated at 21. to formfuel exits and as will be understood, these slots are cut on a slightangle, so that the two resultant flame elements are deflected towardeach other, their .mutual impact spreading the fuel and thus producing awide and extensive flame area.

\Vhen the nozzle members have become fused or otherwise damaged, it isonly necessary to loosen the nipples 18 through manipulation of theirheads 19, when the nozzle members may be easily and quickly removed.

\Vhat is claimed is:

1. A burner tip comprising a fluid conveying element including spacedwalls, said walls having openings therein, a nozzle member engaged inone of the openings, and a nozzle fastening member engaged through theother opening and connected with the nozzle member, said nozzlefastening member being hollow, and having passages communicating withthe interior of the nozzle member, and with the interior of theconveying member, for the passage of fluid from the conveying memberthrough the nozzle member.

2. A burner tip comprising hollow spaced portions means for conveyingfuel to the hollows of the spaced portions, said spaced portions havingopenings in their mutually adjacent faces, nozzle members removablyengaged within the openings, and members engaged through the outer facesof the spaced: portions and connected with the nozzle members, saidsecond named members being hollow and having passages communieating withthe interiors of the spaced portions and with: the nozzle members.

3; A burner tip comprising a head bifurcated at one end to producespaced portions, said head having. a chamber therewithin eX- tendinginto the spaced portions, said spaced portions having registeringopenings in their mutually adjacent faces and having concentric openingsin their opposite faces, nozzle members removably engaged in theopenings of the mutually adjacent faces, and nipples engaged in thesecond named openings and detachably connected with the 1102- zlemembers to hold the nozzle members in position.

In testimony whereof we aflix our signatures, in presence of twowitmesses.
